This request is for DNSFilter to provide IPv6 support in the published network resolvers.

Any Update on this very needed feature ?

Steve Staden

Nachman: Thank you for your interest. Right now, we do not have any updates to share. We are still planning to add that support later this year, but currently are focused on the items list here - https://dnsfilter.canny.io/.

Steve Staden Is this still the case? We're currently trialling DNSFilter and virtually all of our endpoints are remote, so they require the roaming agent. However, the lack of ipv6 support has already reared its head as we've got someone in our test group who is on an ipv6 network and the agent will simply not deploy. Given this is likely to come up if/when we fully enrol in your service, it could become a real issue.

If support for ipv6 on roaming agents is not coming very soon, it would be a show-stopper for us enrolling in the DNSFilter service entirely, unfortunately.

Please get this going, it's holding back on my implementation of IPv6.

We need the resolvers to additionally have IPv6 addresses to enable us to have a proper dual stack network

So, I'm just going to re-iterate everything that everyone else said on the old request: Where are your IPv6 resolvers and why is it taking so long? The agent is far from perfect, and the relay suffers from its own fair share of issues. 
It's now November 2023 and the original request was February 2018, so will be 6 years old very soon.
I have experienced IPv6 only networks and Internet connectivity myself, where not having an IPv6 resolver means that DNSFilter cannot be used.

Deon: Appreciate the feedback and definitely aware this is a need for our customers as we're planning 2024. I'd like the opportunity to learn more about the issues you're mentioning with the roaming clients and relay. If you're open to it, would love to discuss and learn more about those issues.

Deon

Steve Staden: Happy to discuss

anything

Deon: Great. I had emailed you at the associated email address back on 12/8, but wondering if it didn't get through. My email is sstaden@dnsfilter.com. Appreciate it, thanks!

So this is for the straight IPv6 as its registered. Do we have a timeline on this since I assume this would be first released over the roaming clients?

Steve Staden

Daniel: Thank you for your interesting. We're working on a timeline as a part of our 2024 planning. Once I have some additional information I'll share that here.
